Moreover, I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, a strip of land in Canaan, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

And it was the Lord who, through Jacob, fixed the destiny of these descendants, just as He governs the entire universe according to His will.
